TIL that you can autofill custom fields in Bitwarden (and likely other password managers) (lemmy.ca)

Sometimes a login page will have an additional field on top of the username and password (ex. last name, account number). This is often the case with things like banks, insurance, or government accounts.

I usually use Bitwarden to populate the username and password, then fill in the other field manually. Turns out, you can autofill those fields too:

Right click in the field
Select Bitwarden > copy custom field name

Then enter that as the name for the custom field.

Up till now, I was using custom fields to store additional information about the webpage. This will make things easier :)

Unfortunately unless they have changed it, it does not work on mobile.

Ah good to know, myself and another user were wondering about that in the other thread

This is the only down side I found moving from lastpass the Bitwarden. But currently all of the websites that I used (distributors for my business) have stopped using multiple fields, so it is currently a moot point (for me).
